I’m not really back from holidays. I don’t want to be back. But I peaked in today’s Ragtag Daily Prompt and I couldn’t resist sharing this photo. It’s a queue. A queue of flamingoes. They did come closer to our resort’s beach and I will show photos of them at a later stage. But how could I resist this prompt?

BTW: The fly by (actually quite a few fly byes during half an hour) was spectacular.

… up up in the sky!

I had no plans on taking part in any challenges next week. We have a very excited grandson here who is waiting avidly for his holiday with his dad and his grandparents beginning on Sunday. There will be a lot of firsts for him: first time going south, first time at the seaside, the Mediterranean in fact, first time in a non-German speaking country (except for a short weekend with a border hop to France), and the first time on a plane.

We will be leaving Frankfurt – flying over the only city in Germany who has something akin to a skyline.

Our plane will probably not be as colourful as those two:

Since we will be inside it doesn’t matter.

We will be up in the air, leaving only a jet stream behind.

Which may look like this if the virgin passenger can’t stop wriggling excitedly in his seat:

After our misunderstanding last weekend ( –> Henry’s Ordeal ) we were treated with some disdain by our cat. He looked away purposefully whenever we tried to approach him:

I resorted to bribery:

It seems to have worked; the men were united once again:

Whereas I was noticeably considered an intruder:

“What’s a matter, you!? Gotta no respect?!”
